FIRST DRAFT FEDERAL PROPOSAL WRITING · SMALL GOVCON EST. 2026

Your next federal proposal, draft‑complete.

We write proposal sections for small government contractors — compliance matrix, technical narrative, past-performance write-ups — so your team reviews and signs instead of writing until 2 a.m. before the deadline.

FIRST DRAFT FREE

Send us a live solicitation. We return one full section — technical approach, compliance-matrixed against Section L and M — within 72 hours, free. Judge the quality on your real bid, not a sales call.

No commitment. The draft is yours either way.

§ 1 — How it works

Three steps, one deadline met.

  1. Send us the bid

    Forward the SAM.gov link or attach the package. We read the whole thing — PWS, Section L, Section M, attachments — the same day.

  2. Get the free section in 72 hours

    A submission-grade technical-approach draft with a requirement-by-requirement compliance table. Facts about your firm appear as marked inputs — we never guess.

  3. We draft the rest on retainer

    If the sample earns it, we become your proposal shop: every section drafted, every bid, for a flat monthly rate.

§ 2 — What we deliver

Mapped like a compliance matrix, because that’s the job.

The solicitation demandsYou receive
Instructions & eval criteria (L/M)A compliance matrix mapping every requirement to the page that answers it — the first thing evaluators check.
Technical approachA narrative grounded in the actual PWS: their numbers, their standards, their site constraints. No boilerplate.
Past performanceYour real contracts, structured to the format Section L specifies. Written from your records, never invented.
Key personnel & resumesResumes re-cut to mirror the evaluation factors, from the CVs you provide.
Schedule & management planA milestone framework honoring the period of performance, review windows, and lead times.

§ 3 — The rules we work by

Non-negotiables.

Nothing fabricated

Claims about your firm — clearances, certs, contract history — enter the draft only from documents you supply. A proposal is a representation to the government; we treat it that way.

You sign, you own it

We draft; your team reviews, corrects, and submits. Your knowledge stays your competitive edge — and your name is the only one on the cover.

Deadlines are the product

Every engagement is scheduled backward from the response deadline with government review windows built in. Late doesn’t exist here.

§ 4 — Pricing

A flat monthly retainer. Not $300 an hour.

Traditional proposal consultants bill $150–$400 an hour; small firms have told Congress a single major proposal costs $60,000–$100,000 to produce. We charge a flat monthly retainer scoped to your bid volume — quoted after your free section, so you price us after you’ve seen the work.
